n. a term used in Florida (at least), and usually in convenience store type settings, for the 4 inch long glass tube that features a tiny plastic rose inside but is known by all, including the authorities, to really be intended for use as a crack cocaine smoking pipe. (A Tampa newscaster recently shocked many by presenting an expose on the sale of "roses" from behind the counters of several small grocery stores!)

Used by prostitutes, Meaning a Benji or 100 dollar bill when the person doesn't want to plainly say I want money they usually add it in a discreet sentence that could be interpreted differently if you didn't already know what was up.

A hooker would say "you need to bring 1 rose" or "Roses are a girls best friend" that means you need to pay up sucka and she wants you to bring a friend with ya, Ben Franklin.. Can you dig it?
